Former White House official Peter Navarro has been sentenced to four months in jail after being convicted of contempt of Congress. Navarro, who served in the Trump administration, failed to cooperate with the congressional investigation into the Capitol riot that took place on January 6, 2021. This marks the second instance of a Trump aide being convicted on contempt of Congress charges, with former White House advisor Steve Bannon also sentenced to four months in jail. Bannon, however, is currently free pending appeal.
Meanwhile, lawyers representing former President Trump have called for the removal of the prosecutor in the Georgia election interference case. During a recent hearing, Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis was accused of injecting race into the case and fostering racial animus in response to misconduct allegations against her. Specifically, Willis is facing allegations of an improper romantic relationship with the special prosecutor she appointed and hired to her team. While she has yet to publicly respond to these allegations, Willis has defended the qualifications of the prosecutor in question.
